Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 playable Luigi multiplayer

Luigi was never playable in Super Mario 64, but new footage that’s surfaced from SpaceWorld 95 gives us a quick glimpse at the character and multiplayer.

Now In Game Channel recently uploaded the full video from a Japanese program on YouTube. Super Mario 64 is only a small segment of the show, and the multiplayer clip with Luigi is just a few seconds long. Still, it’s significant as this is really the only official look we have at present.

Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64 are both at this moment available to play on Switch via Nintendo’s online service. It’s great to see those two together considering how important they were for early 3D gaming. I decided to revisit them recently and I was impressed by how well they still hold up.

In today’s video, I talk about the different ideas that Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64 brought to the industry, how they understood the best ways to bring the full potential of 3D environments, and also how they failed in some aspects due to how early ideas and the technology were at the time.

Nintendo fans that have kept up with the history of Mario know that at one point, Luigi was going to be playable in Super Mario 64. The team originally hoped to make multiplayer possible, but it just wasn’t technically feasible in the end.

Shigeru Miyamoto opened up a bit about Super Mario 64’s development in an interview with The Guardian. Regarding limitations the team faced, Miyamoto said:

This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, Tokyo Game Show 2020 is in full swing and we aim to be your go-to Nintendo podcast of two friends yelling at each other. Age of Calamity and Monster Hunter: Rise are really doing it for us – especially Hyrule Warriors Impa. But until those games come out, we’ve got the big Halloween Animal Crossing update. Also, a mega-corporation buying a developer/publisher that has no problems developing/publishing on their own is never good for consumers.

This week on Nintendo Everything Podcast, two Nintendo Directs came out and they’re pretty fresh! Monster Hunter Rise and Stories 2 look so tempting, and so many other games have us looking forward to the future. Also, Mario 3D All-stars is apparently emulated, but…is that really a problem? We also throw in some next-gen talk with the recent PS5 price and pre-order situation.

There are more discoveries coming out of the latest Nintendo leak that was initially reported last week. We have some interesting news about Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and more. Let’s go through it all.

Continuing on the recent Nintendo leaks, fans have been able to uncover and construct a couple of beta models from Super Mario 64. Along with an early look at Yoshi, we also have an interesting design for the Whomp enemies.

Here’s a look at both:

Luigi - Super Mario 64

24 years after the launch of Super Mario 64 on the N64, Luigi’s model has finally been restored in the game.

Luigi was originally planned for the 3D platformer through splitscreen multiplayer. However, Nintendo abandoned the idea after the team was unable to implement the idea.
